Befor a crowd that taxed the capac
ity of the Presbyterian church, Wil
liam' L. Flnley, state biologist and fa
miliarity known as "the bird man," de
livered an Interesting illustrated ' ad
dress ob bird lite Monday evening.
County Judge H. S. Andenon acted
as chairman and Introduced the speak
er. The address followed a dinner giv
en by the Presbyterian Brotherhood at
which US people were seated. N. W.
Bowland extended an Invitation to all
present to become members of the
brothsrhood.
Mr. Flnley's address largely em
phasised the Important part the feath
ery folk played in the life of the agri
culturist, and deplored the fact that
cities nowadays are sadly ridden ot
their presence. He urged all who were
interested In the birds to strive to re
call thnt to the cities by the erection
ot suitable bird-house homes for them,
and to protect them from harm. In
the course of hla address, "the bird
man" told humorous tales ot the early
life ot the birds, when they too, like
unruly children, quarreled over their
food allotments, and was greeted with
loud applause and peals ot laughter
from the younger listeners. Birds that
were heretofore regarded by people as
harmful, were declared to be of a
greater value than a detriment by the
speaker.
Particular Interest was shown by
those present In the peculiar manner
the small humming bird employed
when feeding it's young. That it
should thrust it's bill down the throat
of the younger birds to deposit food in
their stomachs seemed cruel to the
listeners, but when the picture of the
satisfied young bird was shown after
this strange manner of partaking of a
repast, confidence in the mother bird
was again manifest. Like wonderment
was displayed in the various stages ot
the owl's life. The suitable names Mr.
Finley had applied to the fuzzy owlets
tonded to Instil a greater interest In
human estimation for this and other
birds.
The gathering subsided after all
Joined in singing "Amer(ca" and giv
Ing a vote of thanks for the presence
of "the bird man."
